A set of simulation and optimization tools capable of analyzing the development and operation of a complex, multi‐basin, interconnected water resource are explained. These models provide valuable information regarding the important questions: (1) “When should new projects be build?” (2) “How big should they be?” and (3) “How should the system be operated?” Since these tools were developed by and for practicing engineers, their applicability to real‐world problems is mandatory. To assure this, testing was done on an actual proposed project, the Texas Water System.
